"The women of Massachusetts need need a senator they can count on not some of the time, but all of the time," Warren said to applause.

BRAC

Both Cignoli and McCollum agreed Sen. Brown won a question on the defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC), citing his experience in the National Guard and his work in the Senate.

HAMMER TIME

This line from Brown also drew a loud, mixed reaction from the audience:

"When you're talking about getting hammered, Professor Warren, I suggest you put down the hammer because it's your regulations and your policies that are going to be hurting... middle class families and every class of family in Massachusetts and the United States," Brown said.

WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS TAKES CENTER STAGE

Brown probably dropped more western Massachusetts references than Warren, saying that he used to live and work in the area, but Warren also talked about a family trip to Jiminy Peak in her closing statements.

JOBS AND UNEMPLOYMENT

The most important issue to voters was addressed first in Wednesday night's debate as Brown and Warren etched out their stances again on jobs and unemployment. Warren discussed her short and long term plans for the economy, which included investment in education and infrastructure. Brown said the economy can be improved by keeping taxes and government spending in check.
